Can I change my company’s registered office address?

Yes. A UK Ltd company can change its registered office address at any time, provided the new address meets Companies House requirements.

Does the new registered office address have to be in the UK?

Yes. The registered office must be an appropriate physical address in the same UK jurisdiction where the company is registered.

How long does it take to update the registered office address?

Once the required information is approved and submitted, Companies House will process the change. We confirm the updated address once the company record has been updated.

Do I need to notify HMRC, my bank and other organisations?

Changing the Companies House address does not automatically update every organisation. We provide a basic checklist of relevant organisations you may need to notify.

Will changing the registered office address affect my company?

No. Changing the registered office address does not change the company’s legal identity or company number. It simply updates the official address recorded at Companies House.
